pls help..urgent

[pnico]

guys,

seems that I didnt make a backup..if I did where would it be on the sd card?
if I didnt make a backup of the rom that came preloaded then I have no choice but to use it rooted... would prefer not to, but if I have no choice then Im screwed..

in that case, I would like to try apex..the more stable system..
the problme seems that droid x bootstrap doesnt run when I hit bootstrap recovery..

so how am I to load this new rom?

thank you
Phil

Ok Phil, we can get you up and running. First off is the Apex zip downloaded and on the root of your SD card?

 

[pnico]

yes it is

 

[Smitty_82]

OK, go into bootstrap recovery and hit "bootstrap recovery", there should just be a pop up that tells that recovery was bootstraped. You will then hit reboot recovery. This will restart your phone in recovery and you will be able to load the Apex zip from there. Let me know if you can get that far.

when I hit boostrap recovery it says the following..

Error running exec commands :su-c/data/data/cp,.koushikdutta.droidxbootsrap/files/surunner.sh)
working directory null and environment null

 

[Smitty_82]

Do you still have your superuser icon?

 

[pnico]

yes

 

[pnico]

i have super user permissions..

 

[Smitty_82]

OK, check to make sure that bootstrap is still listed on the superuser permissions. Also, did you us z4root to root?

 

[pnico]

grey icon

 

[pnico]

it isnt and yes z4root i tried to unroot with that too with no luck

 

[pnico]

it isnt

 

[Smitty_82]

are you able to download anything from the market? Just asking cause I wasn't able to when this happened to me. Testing some ideas right now hang on. I'm at work right now.

 

[Smitty_82]

Ok, go ahead and reroot with z4 to be on the safeside. That might have something to do with bootstrap not working.

 

[pnico]

yes i can dl from the market

 

[pnico]

rerooted with z4

 

[Smitty_82]

OK, try bootstrap again

 

[pnico]

its rooting at the moment with z4

 

[Smitty_82]

OK, let me know.

 

[pnico]

its still going..sorry still rooting
